Second BevMo store to open in the Santa Clarita Valley

The second Santa Clarita Valley BevMo store opens in Canyon Country April 26, said Josh Phaneuf, with BevMo.

The beverage retailer, which carries wines, beers and liquors, had been negotiating for quite a while to move into the store located at 19201 Golden Valley Road.

Not only is it a store that eastside residents didn’t have, but sales taxes from this BevMo go to benefit the city as opposed to the county of Los Angeles, city officials said in January.

The other benefit, however, is providing east side residents with a shopping option in their part of the town without having to drive across the SCV to shop, Jason Crawford, marketing and economic development manager for the city of Santa Clarita, said in January.

The opening of the BevMo also helps to fill retail space that had been vacant as a result of the recession.
